Definitions

  • the invention is related to a technical system which is an attachable device and to a method for controlling termites, and for the reduction or elimination of a population of termites.
  • An object of the invention is to provide an easy and efficient way or method to control termite populations.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an effective protection for buildings and housings against termites.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a simple and cheap method to control termites.
  • Another object of the instant invention is to provide a new and potent means to reduce, or preferably destroy a population of termites which are already in a building.
  • Another object of the instant invention is to provide a new method which is able to control, reduce, or preferably destroy a population of termites which have a nest colony in an unknown location, inside or outside a building.
  • Another object of the instant invention is to provide a new method to control, reduce, or preferably destroy a population of termites which have an unlocated colony but their presence and activity are apparent in a building by their damage to timber in the building, by creating damaging orifices.
  • the invention is thus related to a new protecting system of a building against termites which is an attachable device comprising a container containing a bait for termites and an insecticidally active ingredient, the said container having at least two preformed flaps which can be separated (optionally by cutting), the said flaps being able to be opened to let the container presenting a surface having a material impregnated with the said active ingredient, said surface being internal to the container when the flaps are closed or still preformed and not yet separated.
  • the invention is also directed to a method of protecting the timber materials of and in a building having locus / loci where termites are visibly circulating, said method using an attachable device which comprises an opened container having two flaps (according to the instant invention as here above described) which are flexible and able to be put together to close the container when isolated, said method further comprising the application of the said flaps in close contact to the said locus / loci where the termites are visibly circulating and the flaps are fixed (attached) to the area surrounding the said locus / loci so as to have the said container remaining applied to and adhering on the said locus / loci and creating a close covering upon the said locus / loci.
  • the attachable device is attached upon the orifices (visible manifestations of their damages) which have been previously made by the termites.
  • the invention further relates to a termite-damaged piece of timber or building having an attachable device attached to it, said attachable device being as previously described.
  • locus / loci where the termites are visibly circulating may be galleries of said termites, that is to say apparent galleries or sheltertubes that they are making. It can be also locus / loci where the said termites are active and damaging timber-in-service, and have created orifices.
  • the bait is not limited to foodstuff and could include pheromones.
  • the container is a tube or a sheetup. It can be made of plastic or corrugated cardboard 4.
  • the container contains also wood, preferably wood blocks 6.
  • the container is wrapped around the wood or the wood blocks 6.
  • the container is preferably in the form of a cylinder of cardboard 4, preferably wrapped in plastic sheets or plastic tubing 8.
  • the wrapping material is preferably black so as to be more convenient for termites.
  • the ends of the cylinder are advantageously covered with a clear plastic covering 10, such as a vial, which may be useful to indicate the presence of termites without disturbing them. A practical consequence is that it is easy to see whether the termites are foraging and feeding on the bait or whether the bait container should be moved to a more active termite site.
  • the container containing a bait is a box containing moisture or water, and preferably wood.
  • Figure 1 shows the container just before its application onto a shelter gallery of termites or a damaged place.
  • the outer layers 4,8 are opened as flaps 12 to be held in place around the place of application.
  • the general shape of a tube may be replaced by a general shape such as a disk. Then the preformed flaps may be present not on the round side of the cylinder, but on the flat side of the disk.
  • the flaps 12 may be opened. They may be pre-existing, or just preformed, with some pre-indication or pre-mark or pre-incision or doted incision, so that the flaps 12 are easily detached or cut or separated in order to open the attachable device.
  • the preforming of flaps 12 is in the shape of an " I ".
  • the preforming may be in the shape of a " X " cross, or other shape.
  • more then two flaps may be present in the attachable device of the invention. There might be 3, 4 or more flaps.
  • Figure 4 represents a cardboard roll (preferably corrugated cardboard roll) which is already filled with bait composition 6 and insecticidally active ingredient.
  • Figure 5 represents the cardboard 4 with attractive material 6, including wood, before rolling into a tube.
  • Figures 6 and 7 illustrate a container attached to a wall by means of its opened flaps 12 and Figure 8 illustrates the container of Figure 7 being attached.
  • the attachable device is an attached device.
  • Figures 9 to 14 illustrate a substantially rectangular form of box container.
  • Figure 9 represents a slit 14 (for example 5 mm wide) in the base of a plastic box 16.
  • Figure 10 represents wood blocks 18 between cardboards and wrap in plastic sheeting.
  • the wood is preferably impregnated or coated with an insecticidally active material and optionally with an attractant.
  • Figure 11 represents the wood blocks 18 as prepared in figure 10 put in the plastic box of figure 9. A U-section is cut for purpose of creating flap 20. This one flap is useful to view the termite activity.
  • Figure 12 is similar to figure 11 except that it shows an H-section cut so as to provide 2 flaps instead of one. The two flaps are used to hold in place the bait box over the active termite damage.
  • Figure 13 represents the opened bait box 16 as prepared in figures 9 to 12.
  • the moist cardboard and the wood blocks 18 can be seen inside.
  • the container 16 can be attached by means of its flaps 20. This is illustrated in Figure 14.
  • Figures 15 and 16 illustrate a container of the cylindrical type being fitted to a timber part of a building in which termites are already active.
  • part of the wood has already been damaged by the termites to create a hole 22.
  • the cylindrical container is fixed to the wood with its two flaps 12 such that its window is positioned over the damaged part of the wood.
  • the illustrated container has relatively thin white paper put as a covering layer 10 at the end of the tube.
  • Figure 16 shows the fecal deposits 24 of the termites on the white paper 10 put as covering layer at the end of the tube. These deposits indicate the presence of active termites.
  • a container according to the present invention in conjunction with a further container of insecticide.
  • FIGS 17 and 18 illustrate this embodied with a cylindrical container.
  • the container is attached with its flaps 12 to an infested area in the normal way, but one of its covering ends 10 is removed such that that end of the container may be inserted, or at least connected to, another container 26 of insecticide.
  • the other container 26 of insecticides is provided with a hole 28 to receive the end of the insecticide container. Furthermore, it contains larger quantities of insecticide so as to exterminate higher infestations.
  • the attachable device of the invention may have various forms. It may have the form of a tube associated with a box. The tube is directing the termites towards the box where there is more space, more bait, more insecticide.
  • the container contains a bait in which is incorporated an insecticide with delayed action.
  • insecticides with delayed action those having secondary killing properties are preferred.
  • insecticide having a delayed action it is meant an insecticide having no knock-down effect, that is to say an insecticide which kills insects within a period of time greater than 3 minutes after they have taken a lethal dose, preferably greater than 30 minutes.
  • a family of insecticides which is particularly appropriate to the invention is the 1-substituted-phenyl pyrazoles which have also other appropriate substituents on this pyrazole ring.
  • the 1-arylpyrazoles which can be used according to the instant invention are preferably compounds of formula (I) : in which:
  • the alkyl and alkoxy groups and moieties thereof of the formula (I) are preferably lower alkyl and alkoxy groups, that is, groups having one to six carbon atoms.
  • the haloalkyl and haloalkoxy groups likewise preferably have one to four carbon atoms.
  • the haloalkyl and haloalkoxy groups can bear one or more halogen atoms; preferred groups of this type include -CF 3 and -OCF 3 .
  • the ring formed by the divalent alkylene radical represented by R 5 and R 6 and including the nitrogen atom to which R 5 and R 6 are attached is generally a 5, 6, or 7-membered ring.
  • R 10 is heteroaryl, it is preferably pyridyl, most preferably 2-pyridyl.
  • the 1-arylpyrazoles of formula (I) include enantiomers and/or diastereomers thereof.
  • a preferred group of 1-arylpyrazoles for use in the present invention are those of formula (I) with one or more of the following features wherein:
  • a most preferred compound is 5-amino-1-(2,6-dichloro 4-trifluoromethyl phenyl) 4-trifluoromethylsulfinyl-3-cyanopyrazole, hereafter designated as compound (A).
  • Compounds of formula (I) may be prepared according to known processes, for example as described in International Patent Publications WO 87/3781, 93/6089, and 94/21606 as well as in European Patent Applications 295117, 403300, 385809 or 679650, German Patent Publication 19511269 and United States Patents 5232940 and 5236938 or other process according to the knowledge of a man skilled in the art of chemical synthesis, which is deemed to include Chemical Abstracts and the literature referred to therein. Compositions comprising the compounds of formula (I) may also be prepared according to the teaching of the same prior art or similar publications.
  • the protecting method of the invention is advantageous because the protecting device is small and compact and there is no need to further damage termite infested timbers. Furthermore it provides a means to destroy the nest colony without knowing the exact location of the nest. Furthermore, according to the invention it is possible to get rid of the whole nest colony without searching for the nest colony and with virtually no increase in the damage created by the termite activity : it is not uncommon to have considerable damage created by the search for the presence of the nest of the termites.
  • a corrugated cardboard cylinder, or tube, is impregnated with a liquid formulation of fiproles.
  • the ends of the roll are covered by a clear, plastic vial with a white paper insert.
  • the flaps hold the tube in position over the active termite galleries or sheltertubes.
  • the bait tube is removed when there are no longer any active termites observed.
